Two years later, it doesn't seem that long since Jim often visited us at the shop. We sometimes seen him at the convention center working at the information booth. Still today we miss him and his many great stories of the past.

Still missing Jim today. Miss him coming and stopping in and telling his stories. I still look at the chair he once set in to tell these stories and sometimes fall asleep in. R.I.P. Jim
